Shark IQ Robot

The Shark IQ Robot is a satisfactory option for cleaning bare floors. It does a fantastic job of sucking up pet hair as well as small debris like rice. However, it can have a hard time clearing bulky material like cereal as its dirt compartment fills. In addition, recurring costs are high since quite a few parts need to be replaced frequently. Thankfully, it feels sturdily built and offers decent maneuverability.
